Getting Started & Leveling Up In Cybersecurity Is Challenging...
Here’s what many of us run into…
🔍 You are a beginner looking to get started in cybersecurity with a day-one practical start, but find more theory than real-world.
💬 You are a cybersecurity student looking to level-up your skills related to IT, attacks, and defenses to build your skill sets and career growth, but finding it hard to find something comprehensive.
👩💻 You're a security enthusiast looking for ways to improve your skills in a consolidated environment.
❓ You having a hard time bridging the experience gap in this tough cybersecurity job market.
The Best Way To Learn Is To Do.
ProjectSecurity is built to support your career journey across three pillars, with homelabs at the heart of everything we do.
Cybersecurity Training Through Homelabs
A Cybersecurity Homelab is a sandbox for hacking, tinkering, and learning. Homelabs are all about hands-on experience.
Think of it as a "DIY" approach to practical experience.
That's why homelabs are at the heart of this platform.
🔨 Work With Real-World Tools & Technologies
The best way to learn? With the same tech the industry runs on.
Open-source and community edition tools allow you to work with the same technologies professionals use daily. We use the same tools actual environments would.
Build a Cybersecurity Portfolio
By doing on-premise and cloud-hosted homelabs, you build a portfolio, something to showcase and use to bridge your experience gap.
🔒 The ProjectSecurity Homelab Series Suite
We build real-world homelabs, while learning how to deploy and configure, launch attacks, and bolster defenses. We do this by building an entirely simulated corporate and production network based on four core sections or areas in security.
- Enterprise 101 (E101): Focuses on the foundations of building an enterprise environment.
- Networks & Attacks 101 (NA101): Builds off the basics, extends corporate network, adds network monitoring, prevention, and defense.
- Cloud & Attacks 101 (CA101): Build and deploy a production network in preparation of building an application.
- Web & Attacks 101 (WA101): Build a threat intelligence feed web application to service our customers.
We deploy, attack, and defend on each of these.
👉 Rolling Releases: Right now E101 and NA101 are available. CA101 and WA101 are being actively developed.
The ProjectSecurity Homelab Series Suite Solves
Fragmented, Confusing, & Impersonal Training
Cybersecurity education is often fragmented. Perhaps you do an online course here, an Udemy course there, and some hands-on training platform. It can be hard to piece it together.
Learning cybersecurity often feels like copy-paste: you get the commands, but not the context.
Feeling alone in your learning journey, overwhelmed, or want to help others? A community can be one of the most powerful components to your learning journey.
By Building Homelabs With A Community...
👩💻 You get to piece the various components together in a real-world environment.
💡 Understand the context behind "the why" in addition to the how.
💬 And get to interact with a community of dedicated leaners, professionals, and enthusiasts.
The Homelab Motto.
Deploy - Attack - Defend
Build skills. Break systems. Beat threats.
Deploy: Build Skills
Before you can learn security, you need learn the foundations. Deploying your own systems, networks, and applications teaches you how real environments are built. It’s the foundation—without deployment, you won't understand the relevant attacks and defenses. Homelabs allow you to build the foundational IT skills.
Attack: Break Systems
Once deployed, it’s time to think like an adversary. Launching attacks against your own lab gives you hands-on experience with the same techniques used in the wild. You’ll uncover weak points, misconfigurations, and blind spots—exactly what attackers look for.
Defend: Beat Threats
Finally, you flip perspectives. Using detection, monitoring, and response tools, you harden your environment and defend against the same attacks you just executed. This is where the real learning happens: connecting the dots between attacker tactics and defensive strategies.
👇 A Look Inside What You'll Build
We will deploy, attack, and defend a fully simulated CORP and PROD environment with the following systems and tools:
- Windows Active Directory Network
- Windows Workstation Fleet
- Linux Workstation Fleet
- Jumpbox Ubuntu Corporate Server
- Suricata Intrusion Prevention System (IPS).
- pfSense Router & Firewall.
- Wazuh SIEM & XDR.
- Security Onion Workstation.
- BIND9 DNS Internal Resolver.
- NGINX HTTP Internal Portal
- FTP Server
- MailHog SMTP Server.
- AWS Production Environment. (Coming Soon). (CA101)
- Threat Intelligence Feed Web Application (Coming Soon). (WA101)
Learn The Tools, Technology, & Stacks.
An Overview Of The Four Core Sections
Enterprise 101
Focuses on the foundations of building an enterprise environment.
Networks & Attacks 101
Builds off the basics, extends corporate network, adds network monitoring, prevention, and defense.
Cloud & Attacks 101
Build and deploy a production network in preparation of building an application.
Web & Attacks 101
Build a threat intelligence feed web application to service our customers.
Modules
After completing the four core sections, we will extend our lab by attaching various different disciplines to expand your skill sets, such as malware analysis, forensics, threat hunting, and more.
🥇Becoming a Member Also Gets You The Following...
- Access Rolling Releases to ProjectSecurity Homelab Series Suite.
- All Step-by-Step Documentation.
- Additional Self-Study Labs.
- Exclusive Discord Community Role.
- Bi-Monthly Virtual Meetups.
- Cybersecurity Career Incubator (Coming Soon)
Step-By-Step Documentation
We provide open-source, step-by-step documentation with explanations, images, and topologies. This resource extends as a reference and additional learning material.
Self-Study Labs
We provide additional self-study labs. This gives you a chance to learn and explore on your own. You will deploy additional infrastructure, conduct attacks, and supply relevant defenses.
Community Role + Meetups
Feeling overwhelmed, confused, or perhaps want to share your experiences? It's easy to feel lost. We provide an exclusive community. The community is about connection.
🔒 Build a Security Portfolio
A cybersecurity portfolio is a curated collection of projects, accomplishments, and evidence that showcases your skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience. It acts as a professional portfolio or résumé but focuses specifically on practical demonstrations of your technical abilities, problem-solving skills, and understanding of security concepts.
That's what we are aiming to do with ProjectSecurity. Build practical experience, while also showcasing what you are doing.
💬 Here's What A Few Builders Have Said
"An amazing place for those curious and experienced in cybersecurity to come together, and swap out knowledge."
- Zeus.
"Hands on labs have introduced a very real and often missed point which is things don't always work out as planned. I get a lot of satisfaction getting the labs to work , but there's a satisfaction when it comes to troubleshooting the environment you created to reach your goal."
- Xavier.
"Learnt a lot of stuff, so thank you so much for putting up the entire project."
- Lock.
"This project gave me exposure to enterprise infrastructure, blue team monitoring, detection engineering, and red team attack simulation. It has also helped me improve my Linux skills as I had to troubleshoot and spend a lot of time in that terminal."
- Dithusan S.
"I am starting a new job at Arctic Wolf as a Triage Security Analyst. I recently completed this project from Grant Collins. It's really well organized and explained, and available for free. Cyber projects and content created by Grant Collins were also really helpful in getting hands on with a wide range of tools. Thank you!"
- Joseph Howard.
